When attempting to do his/her homework, a student uses the addition property of equality to solve for a below. Which statement B

EST applies to the sample below? a + 3 = 9 a + 3 – 3 = 9 – 9 a = 0 A. The student failed to keep both sides of the equation balanced. B. The student’s final answer does not have the variable a isolated. C. The use of the addition property of equality is sound, and the answer is correct. D. The student should have added 3 to the left side of the equation rather than subtracting.

The appropriate choice is ...

.... A. The student failed to keep both sides of the equation balanced

_____

The one rule I learned in my study of Algebra that makes it all make sense is "keep the equal sign sacred." That is, whatever you do to one side of the equation must also be done to the other side of the equation. (Various teachers show various shortcuts that make it look like you're doing different things to the different sides of the equation. Don't be confused. If the operation can't be put in terms of doing the same thing to both sides, it doesn't work.)

Of course, you can always add 0 or multiply by 1 whenever and wherever you want.

_____

For the above equation, the appropriate solution is

... a + 3 = 9

... a + 3 - 3 = 9 - 3 . . . . . . addition property of equality

... a + 0 = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . .rules of arithmetic

... a = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . additive identity property of 0

In a simple regression analysis (where y is a dependent and x an independent variable), if the y-intercept is positive, then it
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}  

Where:  

S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}  

S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}  

\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}  

\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}  

And we can find the intercept using this:  

b=\bar y -m \bar x  

On this case the correct answer would be:

E.  none of the above

Since the intercept has no association between the increase/decrease of the dependent variable respect to the independent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the following options:

A.  there is a positive correlation between X and Y

B.  there is a negative correlation between X and Y

C.  if X is increased, Y must also increase

D.  if Y is increased, X must also increase

E.  none of the above

If we want a model y = mx +b where m represent the lope and b the intercept

m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}  

Where:  

S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}  

S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}  

\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}  

\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}  

And we can find the intercept using this:  

b=\bar y -m \bar x  

On this case the correct answer would be:

E.  none of the above

Since the intercept has no association between the increase/decrease of the dependent variable respect to the independent variable
